PNAC's (war criminal)Donnelly,lets use Iraq model on Syria....Debate on U.S. intervention in Syria exposes clash of worldviews, audience opposition to military action http://dailyprincetonian.com/news/2013/09/debate-on-u-s-intervention-in-syria-exposes-clash-of-worldviews-audience-opposition-to-military-action/Researchers from two think tanks faced off in
a debate on Monday over whether the United States should intervene in
the ongoing Syrian civil war. The discussion included audience voting to
gauge members’ progressing reactions. While 43 percent of the audience
initially voted against intervention, this number increased to 61
percent by the end of the debate, all while the number of undecided
votes decreased.Benjamin H. Friedman, a research fellow in defense and homeland security studies with the Cato Institute,
a libertarian think tank, argued that U.S. action in Syria would
exacerbate the country’s civil war, promote regional instability and
generate domestic pressure at home for ever-more-costly interventions.[[[[His remarks were consistently opposed by Tom Donnelly, a defense and security policy analyst at the conservative American Enterprise Institute,
who argued that an American exercise of power, following in the
footsteps of the Bush administration’s invasions of Afghanistan and
Iraq, is essential to restore the regional balance of power and to end
the slaughter of Syrian civilians.]]]]] [ed notes:War Criminal Thomas Donnelly is a ziocon,who was behind the project for new american century." Donnelly has written, co-authored, or edited several books, including most recently Lessons for a Long War: How America Can Win on New Battlefields (2010), which he coauthored with fellow AEI scholar Frederick Kagan...Before coming to AEI, he served as the director of strategic communications and initiatives at Lockheed Martin [2002]."Donnelly was deputy executive director of the Project for the New American Century (PNAC) (1999-2002)..besides that he authored following book ...[Operation Just Cause: The Storming
of Panama!]...yes he justified and claimed invasion of panama was just!!(over 10 thousand innocent civilians killed!!) how just was it? see Panama Deception ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zMmITXwStsalso watch War By Deception (9/11, Iraq, PNAC , All Roads Lead To Israel) -------------------------
Audience members were provided
with interactive mobile voting devices known as i>clickers. The
i>clicker results showed opposition to intervention increased by the
end of the debate, handing an easy victory to Friedman.Friedman
cast U.S. military intervention in Syria as a serious policy blunder
that could bog the United States down in a doomed democracy-building
project and fail to promote political stability or liberalism in the
Middle East.“It will not serve humanitarianism, it will not
demonstrate U.S. credibility to carry out threats, to defend important
allies or frighten enemies out of building nuclear weapons,” Friedman
said. “It is more likely to exacerbate civil war and suffering in Syria,
add to regional instability, further encourage Iran to build nuclear
weapons and generate political pressure here for more costly action,
which is also likely to fail.”Painting a scene of sectarian
discord, violence and fractious infighting among rebel forces, Friedman
said the United States lacked the power or resources necessary to
install a stable, liberal political regime there and rejected the claim
that intervention would improve humanitarian conditions for Syrian
civilians.“U.S. military intervention is more likely to prolong
Syria’s civil war than to end it,” Friedman said, noting that civil wars
often result in harm to civilians by exposing them to direct violence,
disrupting sanitation and health services and eroding national wealth.
“And even if the rebels win, the chaotic outcomes I just described will
not be conducive to human life in Syria. So I think if you want
humanitarianism in Syria, you might advocate helping the Syrian
government, because it is a government, and even a government that rules
by appalling methods is better for life and health than the Hobbesian
alternatives on offer.”He also disputed the claim — made both by
President Barack Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry in speeches
earlier this month — that failing to act in Syria would damage U.S.
credibility in the eyes of the international community.“When it
comes to reckless military action in that region, the United States’
credibility is strong to a fault, and that’s particularly true since the
Iraq War. U.S. credibility also is not as brittle as our foreign policy
elite in Washington like to say,” he said. “The credibility of our
commitments is unlikely to be enhanced by piling up more dumb ones,
especially the unpopular and intentionally, explicitly feckless military
action that the president proposes for Syria, which may simply show the
limits of U.S. resolve.”

The United States could help Syria in
ways other than bombing the country, such as by harboring refugees,
brokering a political settlement, pressuring Syrian leaders with
sanctions or offering them safety if they do leave the country, Friedman
added.Dismissing Friedman as a “libertarian” in foreign policy
matters and attributing current Middle Eastern dynamics to the
“non-interventionist” policy of the Obama administration, Donnelly
argued that the United States should intervene in Syria with ground
forces to restore peace to a region that he claimed was unstable as a
result of the ongoing American withdrawal from Afghanistan.“What
I’d like to do this evening is to help you all get over your feelings of
hostility toward George W. Bush and to think differently about the Iraq
War and the Afghanistan war because if I look at the Middle East today,
and I compare it to what it was in 2008, it looked a lot better to me
in 2008 than it does now,” he said. “Syria is the poster child for that
and the most obvious example of it, but it’s not the only example of
it.”
Identifying the restoration of a favorable balance of power
in the Middle East as a prime strategic objective, Donnelly said that
intervention should involve the removal of Syrian President Bashar
al-Assad, an extended occupation, reconstruction and efforts to prevent
rebel forces from killing the Alawite Shia minority to which Assad
belongs. Such an effort would not cripple the American economy and would
be worth the cost, he said.“I’m not going to tell you that
intervening in Syria in a way that would really make things better, make
things more stable, is going to be cheap and easy and quick,” he said.
“[But] it’s not going to be a disproportionate cost, because the
rewards, the benefits, are going to outweigh the cost by a lot.”In
addition to securing U.S. strategic objectives, like general stability
and secure energy flows, Donnelly said that U.S. intervention was
imperative to preserve American credibility and to prevent Assad’s
regime from permitting further atrocities.“I don’t need to repeat
the moral arguments because the Secretary of State made them very well —
not simply about the chemical weapons line, but about the original red
line, the ‘Assad must go’ red line,” he said. “To allow this portion of
the world to witness a slaughter of this magnitude, and to let it go on,
calls our moral conscience into question.”
Their remarks,
punctuated by two question-and-answer sessions, drew active
participation from the audience. The debate, entitled “Should the U.S.
Intervene in Syria?” took place in the Whig Hall Senate Chamber and was
moderated by Wilson School professor Aaron Friedberg. The event was
jointly sponsored by the University chapter of the Alexander Hamilton
Society and the American Whig-Cliosophic Society.[ed notes: That one of Iraqs war (for israhell) architects demands regime change in Syria,alongside other notable zionists ,like wolfowitz,cheney,kagan,richard perle,douglas feith,MG paul e vallely,albright,kissinger,daniella pletka,rumsfeld should be reason enough for any so called rational human being to oppose it,even if they hate Assad...meanwhile Syrias opposition gladly welcomes and works with that alliance ,whos shared goals are strengthening and setting up israhell as the primary undisputed power in region after its long sought goal of breaking up of resistance axis,and overthrowing Assad...
